Privacy Policy

Teach.Land ("Teach.Land," "I," "me," or "my") makes free, browser based games and computer lessons for children, parents, and teachers. I built this site to be a safe place for kids, and that means keeping privacy simple and honest. This policy explains what I collect, what I do not, and how I protect children's privacy.

Who This Site Is For

Teach.Land is designed for children under 13, and the site is built so that kids can play and learn without giving me any personal information at all. Games and lessons need no account, no login, no sign up, and no downloads. A child can use Teach.Land without ever typing in a name, an email, or anything else about themselves. The one exception is the optional Student Login, described below, which is only for students in my own classes.

What I Collect

Only three places on Teach.Land collect personal information: the contact form, the email updates sign up, and the Student Login. The contact form and the email updates sign up are meant for adults: parents, teachers, and caregivers. The Student Login is described in its own section below. If you choose to write to me through the contact form, it asks for your:

• Name
• Email address
• Subject
• Message

You only give me this information if you decide to contact me, and I use it for one thing: to read your message and reply to you. That is it.

Email Updates

If an adult signs up for the optional email updates, I save the email address, the date it was added, and a private code that makes the confirmation and unsubscribe links work. I send a confirmation email first, and I only send updates to addresses that have been confirmed. I send about one short email a week, and only when there is something new on Teach.Land.

I use your email address for nothing else. I do not use it for ads, I do not sell it, and I do not share it. I do not save your IP address with your sign up. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and when you unsubscribe I delete your email address from my list.

The email updates are for parents and teachers, not for children. If you believe a child signed up, please tell me through the contact page and I will delete the address promptly.

Student Login

Student Login is optional, and right now I am testing it with my own classes. A student logs in by typing a username that I set up for them, which includes a class code. It does not ask for an email address, a home address, or a phone number. It only works on approved school networks, and I can turn it off at any time.

When a student is logged in, I save:

• The username and class
• Coins earned and spent
• Results from activities, such as typing speed, accuracy, and times
• Which keys were hit or missed in typing practice, so I can help with trouble keys
• The look the student picked for the site
• When the student last logged in

I use this only to run the coins and progress, and to teach my classes. I do not use it for ads, I do not sell it, and I do not share it. Student Login uses a few small cookies to remember who is logged in on that computer and which look they picked. They are not used to track anyone, and a student is logged out after a period of no activity. I may also keep a short record of login attempts, including the network they came from, to keep the login safe and to fix problems.

A parent or guardian can ask me to show or delete their child's login information through the contact page.

How I Count Visits

To see how Teach.Land is used, I count visits with a simple tool I built myself. For each visit it records which page was opened, how long the page stayed open, and which website sent the visitor, if any. It also notes whether a visit came from a school network. It does not use cookies, it does not save IP addresses, and it does not record names, accounts, or anything else about who a visitor is.

I use these counts to learn which games and lessons kids use most, so I can make the site better.

What I Do Not Do

• I do not use Google Analytics or any outside analytics or tracking service.
• I do not run advertising or advertising trackers.
• I do not use cookies to track or profile visitors.
• I do not build profiles of visitors or follow anyone around the web.
• I do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with anyone.

Children's Privacy and COPPA

I take the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) seriously. Teach.Land is built to collect as little as possible from children under 13. Games and lessons need no account and no personal details. The optional Student Login is used only with students in my own classes, saves only a username and learning progress, and is used only for teaching and the site's coins and progress.

The contact form and the email updates sign up are intended for adults, not children. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has sent me personal information, or you would like your child's Student Login information shown or deleted, please reach me through the contact page and I will take care of it promptly.

Donations

Teach.Land is free, and support is never required. If an adult chooses to donate, the donation is made on PayPal's website, not on Teach.Land. PayPal handles the payment, and I never see card or bank details. PayPal tells me the donor's name and email address, and I use them only to say thank you and keep my records. Children should not donate. PayPal has its own privacy policy, and once you leave Teach.Land, this policy no longer applies to that site.

Optional Subscription

Everything that is free on Teach.Land as of November 4, 2026 will stay free. I will keep adding new activities over time. Some will be free and some will be part of an optional paid plan. Coins and Funtown are for accounts. Later I may offer an optional subscription. It is not available yet. Before it starts, I will update this page to explain what payment information is used and which company handles the payments. Children should not make purchases.

Keeping Teach.Land Running

I run Teach.Land on my own. I plan to keep it running for about the next 4 years (until June 2030), when I retire from teaching. Running it costs me money and a lot of time, so I plan to close it after that unless support makes it possible to keep going. If I close the site, I will delete the visit counts, the student accounts, and the email list I keep.

Cookies

Teach.Land does not use tracking or advertising cookies, and I do not run a cookie banner because I am not setting that kind of cookie. The only cookies I set are the small ones Student Login needs to remember a logged in student, and they are not used to track, profile, or advertise to anyone. Your browser or my web host may also handle basic technical functions that are standard for any website, but none of it is used to track, profile, or advertise to you.

How I Keep Your Information

If you contact me, I keep your message and contact details only as long as I need them to respond to you and keep a record of my correspondence. If you sign up for email updates, I keep your email address until you unsubscribe, and then I delete it. I only use it to send the updates you asked for. I do not add you to any other list. Student Login information is kept while a student is using Teach.Land in my classes, and I can delete it when a parent or guardian asks.

Hosting and Security

Teach.Land runs on a shared web server. Like nearly all websites, my host may keep standard server logs to keep the site running and secure. These logs are not used to track you, build a profile, or advertise to you.

Changes to This Policy

If I ever change how Teach.Land handles information, for example if I begin showing ads in the future, I will update this page and change the "last updated" date at the top. I encourage you to check back from time to time.
